This hotel has spectacular views of the valley below. It is very clean. Super friendly staff who cater to your needs wonderfully. Our stay here is truly wonderful. Everything is in walking distance. Lake Dal is only a 3 minute walk down the road. A short walk in the opposite direction allows you to see the breathtaking views of the snow capped mountain range above. Restaurant and good food available in hotel. Don’t miss this wonderful location.

The hotel has poor internet, hopefully that will be fixed as I mentioned it to the reception in an email. Shower pressure was low as well. Views from valley view rooms are nice.
The hotel staff could be more cooperative. Their Spa suite is really good.

The view from our room was the side of a close hill, with people working and others playing on the hill, so there was little privacy. Dogs barked throughout the night. The room was not comfortable and neither was the bathroom. Service was fine, as was the breakfast.

Nice hotel
Very spacious rooms, very comfortable king bed.
A la carte breakfast was very good.
Hotel looks pretty new.
The hotel area (Dal lake) is a little isolated from the busy parts of Dharamshala and connected by a narrow windy road that is typical there, but one would need a taxi or autorickshaw to get to the more touristy parts of town. We liked it as was quiet and we were not planning a late night in the busy parts of the town.
